Your second sentence is also correct, as it makes 2 actions(relax/pay) parallel:

I want to retire to a place WHERE I can relax AND pay low taxes.

First sentence is not parallel due to the tenses:
I want to retire to a place WHERE I can relax(future) AND I pay(present) low taxes.

Also, if there is an option with 2 complete sentences use comma before conjunction AND like and make them parallel:

I want to retire to a place WHERE I can relax, AND I can pay low taxes.

There is a third option as well:

I want to retire to a place WHERE I can relax AND WHERE I pay low taxes.

Well, the following is correct as well:

I want to retire to a place where I can relax and pay low taxes.

You might want to go thru this post, to understand when GMAT prefers to repeat relative pronouns (such as where/that).
